Summary:

This paper presents the design, testing and analysis of the 5kW ammonia Capillary Pumped Two Phase Loop (CPL), developed in co-operation between MATRA MARCONI SPACE (MMS) and the French Space Agency (CNES).The ammonia CPL breadboard was designed to transport a 5 kW heat load over 5 meters. It consisted of:Test results presented show the performance measured on the loop (horizontal position) for:The mathematical analyses were performed with CEDRIC software, which models fluid networks for single and two phase flow, by solving the three balance equations (mass, momentum and energy)
